Draught at Bicu, Savignano sul Rubicone (FC)Brown color. Light caramel aroma. The mouthfeel is very dry, but smooth, with caramel flavor and some roasted nuts; correct bitterness. Correctly brewed, but without special features.

On tap. RBESG Rome 2010. I believe it came as "Rossa" at 6% ABV - must be this one. Pours a hazy amber with a small off-white head. Fairly rich aroma of roasted malt and caramel - perhaps also a whiff of butter. Not much bitterness but a rather warming alcohol finish. Very malty indeed. Didn’t pick up any coriander or vanilla - more a straight Amber Ale in my book. 020610

At the brewpub. Murky amber-red body. A very nice smooth sweet orangey malty nose. Sweet taste reminiscent of jaffa cakes, some orange peel and coriander. Tasty ’nuff, almost Belgian in character and the best of the bunch I reckon (not that that’s saying much).

10/10 Draught at the brewpub. It poured deep copper body with almost no head. Sweetish malty caramel aroma, simple but nice. Tasty flavor, sweetish, caramel and some licorice besides those typical Italian Rossa characteristics. Full bodied with long, pleasantly sweet finish makes it a very good beer. Therefore, I liked this one the most of all Bicu beers.
